So Utah is a great example of where taking the money line can work out. I would have lost last night's game after buying down the -5.5 to -2.5, but I took the ML at -240. I know that is steep, but the 3 points costs -190 at my book.
I decided to lay the 240 and not worry about having to win by any points.
For the newbies, you would NEVER take the money line if your team was the underdog and was getting points.
This is a call i make when we are betting on the favorite, and after buying the 3 points, we are gonna be less than a 3 points favorite.
Not sure what I would do for the B had I lost after buying the 3 pts last night.
GL to you all.

The question of a 6 game nba roadtrip is being debated on multiple blogsites i frequent. I actually bought the NBA system last season but can't find the pdf although kinda remember seeing the 6 game rule. I found this on another blog on this site. Hope it helps:

I have JM system rules right in front of me
"One other thing to note is if your team is playing 6 games on the road vs all opponents of the different conference, then you can split that up into two different series, one beginning with the first game and one beginning with the 4th game."
For the record, no email was sent by JM as confirmation.
Also I did not play Den (A) game 4 of 6 game road trip.
I got the Den win already and will just move on.
The question still remains, it is or it isn't LOL
Best of Luck

For those who played Denver 2nd leg congrats...I did not.
But this game sshowed for the 1st time this year the importance of buying the points. If you didn't, you would have lost.
Best of Luck moving forward.

Yeah, but the point is as you get closer to 0 points the ML makes more sense.
If you are -1 or -2 points after buying 3, your team still has to win by 2 or 3 for you to win. If the ML is -190 to -230 to only need an outright win, I'll pay for that rather than pay -190 to have to win by 2 or 3.
And if I would have lost straight up, I also would have lost at minus any number that I would have got buying points. So either way I would be down. Just would be -190 instead of -240. The game I took the -240 was the high end of that scenario, but to me it was worth the price to not lose by a last minute 3.
Plus, I am not chasing these games the way the system calls for, so I can live with a loss on an A game at 50 bucks higher than what buying points would have cost me.

"Hello Peter,
Thanks for your inquiry. That message was place in your account by the lines manager, base on your wagering activates. If the lines department recognize you are only interesting in buying points, they may limit an individual on the amount of points they can buy.

BetJamaica Customer Service"
Anyone else been limited like this?
I got profiled by them during the last NBA season after 8 3 pt chase wins. I thought it was their new policy for everyone til this year when bloggers were arguing that they were able to buy 3 pt from BetJ this season.
